Doctor's Best Stabilized R-Lipoic-Acid supports the body's defense against free radicals and recycles antioxidant nutrients such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E.*

Best Stabilized R-Lipoic-Acid contains BioEnhanced Na-RALA, the sodium salt of natural R-Lipoic acid. This stabilized form of R-Lipoic-Acid that won't degrade at high temperatures, making it more bioavailable than regular R-Lipoic-Acid and it has no solvent residues. Because it is soluble in both water and fat, lipoic-acid is sometimes referred to as the "universal antioxidant".*

Alpha-lipoic acid is considered to be a multimodal supplement because, aside from its enzymatic role in energy production, it acts by multiple mechanisms and displays diverse health-enhancing and antioxidant properties. Recently discovered is Alpha-lipoic acid's ability to regulate several genes linked to cell survival and oxidative stress. Therefore, in addition to its enzymatic role, Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant and performs a number of other vital functions related to its ability to modify the expression of various genes. Supplementing with Alpha-lipoic acid is, therefore, not so much a direct benefit to cells, but rather an indirect aid that effectively "kick starts" declining function, helping cells recover functionality that came more easily and naturally in youth.
